I just recently got married at the Dunes and the venue was beautiful, the food was amazing, and the catering/bartenders were awesome. I loved how well maintained the grass was, as well as the beautiful landscaping. My now husband, wedding party, and family had a wonderful experience golfing in the days leading up. I was less than impressed with the wedding planning side of the Dunes. People were nice, but not very outgoing, did not have hardly any straight forward answers to my questions, and had a hard time communicating in general. My family, husband, and wedding party became very frustrated they were having to "run the show" when their job was to be in the physical wedding and enjoy the night. Not make choices and announcements for the entire wedding. Thank goodness for DJ Robert from New Beginnings for stepping in to help guide us through how the Dunes should run a wedding. As this is mine (and most) people first time coming up with wedding plans, and being from out of state, it made things hard to plan ahead. Packing, decor ordering/shipping, any flowers, or other details. Minimal responses were given. I eventually gave up and figured "oh well". Thank god the golf course itself being well maintained. Additionally! I was beyond upset about the ceremony. I the Bride was placed directly in the sun. Between the sun and the reflection off the water, I could not see anything. Could hardly look at my husband with 2 eyeballs and I was upset. My eyes are shut, squinted, or 1/2 open in all my ceremony photos 😔. Not how I wanted to remember the beautiful moment. The background was amazing, but I would have chosen a diffeeent time than the 5:30 time recommended to me from this yet again, horribly unhelpful "wedding planner". I think I'd plan a better wedding on my own and I hadn't even visited the venue yet.
